Stopped working today with asio bridge after win 10 update #13

Closed Verity-Freedom closed 5 months ago

Verity-Freedom commented 6 months ago

I using it with my creative g6 (horrible sound card that I will sell someday, I already bought x7), and it was fine, but today my win 10 was updated and it suddenly stopped working with hi fi cable asio bridge. I use it since it makes horrible g6 clicks a little more bearable (it is the worst sound card in the world basically). It works fine without asio bridge.

Tried system point restore, but it didn't help. Just doesn't work with asio anymore.

Sound Keeper itself uses WASAPI. When an app gets exclusive access to your audio device through ASIO, it probably appears as busy for WASAPI, but detection of the moment when the audio device is free to use in shared mode again might be broken somehow. ASIO is not native to Windows, it is always better to prefer WASAPI when possible.

Try the debug version of Sound Keeper. It shows debug logs that you could share here. Maybe something will be visible from them.

Fixed it only with renaming exe to SoundKeeperSineF10A5.

How am I supposed to use debug? Just run it and then copy information from cmd? It's easy.

Brown version and sines are working good, only default, all and zero all versions don't work.

I am using asio because it's making g6 sound clicks, the worst sound card in the world, a little more bearable. My x7 limited second hand is on the way to me, so I will resell this shame of humanity and Creative engineering.

Verity-Freedom commented 5 months ago

Idk will wasapi be as effective as asio bridge (I think not, I remember testing it), but with asio I feel almost like a normal human being.

Oh, so the Sound Keeper is working, it's just your driver or hardware wants a bit more detectable signal to not go into sleep mode.

You can also try SineF1A1, maybe it will be enough.
